Raiders start a new chapter

The long wait is over: Raiders Tirol begin a new chapter in club history on Sunday. Their first game in the new European Football Alliance immediately brings a major matchup as the Tyroleans visit the Munich Ravens at the historic Grünwalder Stadion.

The game is called Battle of the Mountains for a reason: Raiders against Ravens, Tirol against Munich, two ambitious programmes, two fan bases with big expectations and an opening game that can already show where the journey may lead in the EFA's debut season.

Shuan Fatah back on the sideline

For the Raiders, the return of Head Coach Shuan Fatah is a central storyline. He brings experience, clear leadership and the ambition to move the Raiders closer to Europe's top level again.

There is also a new face at the most important position. Quarterback Steven Krajewski is set to lead Tirol's offense and enters his first EFA game with confidence.

Munich as a tough opening opponent

The task will be anything but easy. The Munich Ravens enter the season as one of the most exciting teams in the league. With Russell Tabor, Malik Stanley and several high-profile additions, Munich has an offense that will immediately test Tirol.
